The surfboard actually wobbles around like a real one, so you actually get a balanced workout (no pun intended) as you do yoga-like stretches while also trying not to fall off.

Great for: Balance, strengthening your core, and cardio health.

Price: Depends on what gym you're a member of (according to SurfSET)
